[gvd-devel] The problem: Multiple copies of GTK-dlls (Windows)

[Alexei Lioubimov]

Hello,
As far as i know, almost all gtk DLLs are "versioned", so it's impossible to
have only one copy of these DLL on your box, instead different applications
should have their "private" sets of gtk libraries :(, am i right?
I have different gtk-based apps on my Windows box: GVD, GIMP, GLADE, and
every application requires exact (different) version of this or that gtk
DLL. Is there any way to avoid having multiple copies of the DLLs?
Or the only way is to rebuild _everything_ from sources, for example, when
you want to build _one_ new package, that depends on the newest version of
one of the gtk dlls?

Thank you
Alexei Lioubimov
